IT'S FULL OF STARS [100x]

pretty colors, lemme install this

I'd like to see the person who has a computer that can run this perfectly at full FPS

how to check if a game has potato optimization:
step 1: install a mod that adds a lot of stuff

TIP: theres a bookmark feature

Do you think only those with the strongest setups should use this?

The stars aren't using .gifs -- Starbound uses .png spritesheets for its animations -- but that is essentially the reason for all the lag, yeah. It's certainly possible for someone to make a mod that would remove the animation and stop the interface from redrawing the stars all the time.

It should be noted, though, that removing the animation won't fix any lag caused by initially loading the stars or from panning the starmap.

I think you can significantly increase the star count IF you replace star's .gif animation and just make it a .jpg for each star. I think removing the gif/animation from these star would significantly remove lag and make a larger galaxy more playable.

This may lag.

intentional 2001: A Space Odyssey reference, yes

Was that reference in the title and description intentional or just coincidental?
